i'm thinking of hermes again gahhh HIS CHARACTER IS SO INTERESTING TO ME I LOVE HIM
#🌙.rambles#[ ffxiv. ]#despite my fondness for his character. i really don't agree w what he ultimately did#though i probably strongly relate if i was in his shoes i may be compelled to just. bring about the end of the world as well 💀#he cld've found another way to. deal w his suffering? but.. it rlly must've been lonely tho i think. to be different in. such a society.#it's. interesting rlly. bcs the ppl of etheirys generally think death is beautiful. in a way#once they've fulfilled their duty sufficiently they go to die n they say it is beautiful#hermes though.. sees death everyday w the animals. sees how they r afraid of it. of how they want to live#etheirys is so flawed. no wonder hermes was that way n. he's undeniably flawed as a person too#hermes is. an emotional n sensitive character i think. good at heart. but#god that line in the first part of yk '...until what remained could be molded into a socially acceptable shape.' i think that says a lot#hermes is v special to me bcs. idk wtf i really realize i am drawn to characters that.. i think i cld. help in some way. want to help#sob imagine how interesting n fun it wld be to aid hermes in his research#i really don't know how to phrase it but much of hermes' character is bcs of the society of etheirys#i saw this on twt too n.. i really do like to believe that after that incident in ktisis. he eventually made his peace w their mortality#it just. makes me a bit sad how he threw all of that away to be a part of his society in a way#i wish he.. cld've held on a bit tighter to himself. i don't think his emotion or his sensitivity or empathy was ever weak#but i think. it hurt being alone. feeling different. being faced w such an inevitable end n.. yeah#i really think that if he weren't alone in his suffering then he'd be so much more diferent.#aaaa he's a v special character to me indeed :^) i wish he lived at least. to see where his answers led#sob i need closure still i wish his soul wld converse w the wol or smth. but. 'a question of life'.. his side story perhaps is enough#still. i rlly want to give him a long warm hug n all the love in the world 😔#fandaniel in extension is also a rlly interesting character to me. with amon.. 'hermes wld weep at the man i have become'#or something like that. honestly hermes rlly is a good person at heart but.. yeah :^)#i really loved how endwalker even moreso than shb yk. challenged morality. blurred the lines even further#hermes' actions brought end to so much & caused so much suffering too BUT if he wasn't suffering himself then it wldn't have happened#to put it in one simple way at least. from my own perspective. his actions rn't justified still but they can be understood. i understand.#the way they.. treated the animals as lesser n how many of the amaurotines didn't care much for their lives.#hermes rlly is empathetic i think. &.. lonely? yeah. n arrogance was one of the downfalls of etheirys in a way. imho#yh there's a lot i cld say abt this but i think this is. good enough for now ><
